Came across this on POP Yachts this morning as I was browsing around. Not gonna lie... I think this thing is the coolest!!!!!


Definitely going on my WANT LIST. Needless to say the wife is already rolling her eyes at me. I myself, see no monetary reason that this can't be done!!!! Consider some redesign on the inside and upgrades over time. Great live aboard or turn it into a cash making venture (Currrent pandemic timeline not included) and do some evening tours/ cruises........

Anyways, figured I'd share it. Half temped to take the ride down just to see the thing!!!


Youtube Video of it doing some minor maneuvers:

Environmentalists and tree huggers are having a stroke right about now.

That's pretty cool.

What are the white things on top? Inflatable Life Boats?

Looks like it could handle some pretty serious rough waters. Aside from a fuel burn issue, with some remodelling I could see it being a neat boat to live aboard.

My assumption was Lifeboats. I see where the ad says they need to be re-certified but does not state where they are.

Built in ballast? Does it need Cobra Fins? Can I tow it with my Honda Civic?
I am 100000000% positive @Cobra Jet Steering LLC could definitely come up with some KING COBRA FANGS that would take care of / significantly improve the steering!!!!!

Yes, those are inflatable lifeboats that will deploy if submerged or can be manually removed.

From the text
"There is the ability to reverse the direction of the flow from the drive which can clear the intake grate in the event it becomes blocked by debris. The drive also has a port which can be removed while the boat is in the water. This allows debris to be removed from the jet if necessary. "

Interested, but I’d need to see video of it going through Haulover Inlet first.
